DAILY ATHLETE PROGRAMS
Our programs are designed to suit your unique needs:
THE DAILY ATHLETE MINDSET // WORKSHOP
Over a 1 to 2 hour period, we really get into it. We create a unique experience that allows athletes to establish a core understanding of themselves in pursuit of greater levels of self-efficacy, self-awareness, and resilience. Through deep self-exploration exercises, discussions, and interactions, we give athletes a framework to better understand what is they are trying to accomplish, why it’s worth achieving – and more importantly – the mentals tool to help them get it done. Not for the faint of heart. And not for those who like sitting on the sidelines.
THE JOURNALING MINDSET // WORKSHOP
DAILY ATHLETE // KEYNOTE SPEAKER
30-60 minute presentation on what it means to cultivate The Daily Athlete Mindset. Our keynote presentations are intended to provide a base understanding of how Values, Vision, Goals, and Daily Actions all come together to create driven and focused individuals or teams.
SOME OF THE PROGRAMS WE'VE WORKED WITH
DEREK THIESSEN
DAILY ATHLETE WORKSHOPS: CREATOR + PRESENTER
I’ll be honest, every time I find myself heading off to do another workshop I get nervous. Not because I don’t feel prepared or that I hate public speaking. But simply because I am overly excited by the opportunity of sharing my passion and don’t want to mess it up. This business is something that has been steadily building behind the scenes and I am incredibly grateful each time I get the chance to pass it on to others.
What started off as a tragic realization of how I failed as an athlete, has now transformed into a powerful message and framework that, I hope, the next generations of athletes and coaches can apply to their daily lives. I want to continue to profess my message in front of as many athletes as humanly possible because I truly believe it is a simple yet profoundly important one that we all need to hear (before it’s too late).
“Daily Athlete is an invaluable resource that helps athletes focus on the process of improvement each and every day. It challenges athletes to set goals and brings clarity to what they need to do daily to become their best. I especially value that this resource not only helps athletes, but more importantly, it is also an amazing tool to help athletes become better leaders, and build leadership skills that transcend volleyball.”
– Bryan Gee, Ducks Volleyball Coach, NOW Camp Director
“Derek took our men’s volleyball program through an empowering progression of establishing personal values, standards and goals. His ability to connect with the athletes through personal stories and experiences as well as knowledge of the topics presented impacted our athletes in noticeable ways. Our team is now journalling and we see the result in the intentionality with which the guys approach our training sessions.”
– Jason Warkentin, Head Coach, CBC Bearcats Volleyball
“We introduced Daily Athlete tools into our 18U program and they absolutely loved it. It was an integral part of our mental work this season.”
– Christophe Elek, Coach
“Since having Derek present, our athletes have been much more diligent in tracking their goals and following up with them. Overall, I think it really helped to start the season off on the right foot. From a sports perspective, it is always beneficial when the athletes are able to set both personal and team goals, and then finding ways to work towards that. We’ve found that a lot of our athletes have been more comfortable talking about adversities they have faced in the past, how they overcame them and utilizing that to handle the various struggles that they have encountered this season. We’ve noticed that our athletes are more focused on their Intrinsic motivation, without much guidance from the coaches. I would highly recommend other coaches get Derek to present The Daily Athlete Mindset to their athletes.”
– David Tam, Club Director, Apex Volleyball
